YEAR 10 BAKE OFF!
This morning, the Year 10 DT class got a sneak peek at what it might be like on My Kitchen Rules. Every group required to serve a dish for presenting and sampling. The difficult chore of tasting them all for judging was then placed on the selected staff judges. Next week, the winners will be revealed!
Dear Parents and Carers
GSSHS is undergoing a system change which means the existing SMS Attendance process parents and carers receive will look different starting tomorrow (14.11.24). An SMS alerting you of your child's absences for the day will still be sent at 10:30am and 2:30pm.
The SMS will be sent from an unmonitored phone number - replying to the SMS will not work.
You will need to click on the link within the text message, to provide reasons for their absence. Alternatively, you can call Student Services on 6274 0331 or 6274 0350 to cover absences or discuss attendance concerns.
If you know your child will be absent from school for the day, you can avoid receiving the Absentee SMS by contacting Student Services as above, or alternatively, add an attendance note via the Compass App ahead of time.
A Connect email and Compass notification will also be sent, alerting families of this change.
Thank you!
Student Services Team
